According to the versions of the ruby packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in     the Fiddle::Function.new 'initialize' function     functionality of Ruby. In Fiddle::Function.new     'initialize' heap buffer 'arg_types' allocation is made     based on args array length. Specially constructed     object passed as element of args array can increase     this array size after mentioned allocation and cause     heap overflow.(CVE-2016-2339)

  - Type confusion exists in _cancel_eval Ruby's TclTkIp     class method. Attacker passing different type of object     than String as 'retval' argument can cause arbitrary     code execution.(CVE-2016-2337)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An update of the ruby package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3365-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Ruby DL::dlopen incorrectly handled opening libraries. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to open libraries with tainted names. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2009-5147)

    It was discovered that Ruby Net::SMTP incorrectly handled CRLF sequences. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to inject SMTP commands. (CVE-2015-9096)

    Marcin Noga discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain arguments in a TclTkIp class method. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04     LTS. (CVE-2016-2337)

    It was discovered that Ruby Fiddle::Function.new incorrectly handled certain arguments. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2016-2339)

    It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled the initialization vector (IV) in GCM mode. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to bypass encryption. (CVE-2016-7798)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the ruby packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented,     scripting language. It has features to process text     files and to perform system management tasks.Security     Fix(es):An issue was discovered in the OpenSSL library     in Ruby before 2.3.8, 2.4.x before 2.4.5, 2.5.x before     2.5.2, and 2.6.x before 2.6.0-preview3. When two     OpenSSL::X509::Name objects are compared using ==,     depending on the ordering, non-equal objects may return     true. When the first argument is one character longer     than the second, or the second argument contains a     character that is one less than a character in the same     position of the first argument, the result of == will     be true.

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ruby: Fiddle::Function.new heap buffer overflow (CVE-2016-2339)

  - DL::dlopen in Ruby 1.8, 1.9.0, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0.0 before patchlevel 648, and 2.1 before 2.1.8 opens     libraries with tainted names. (CVE-2009-5147)

  - verify_certificate_identity in the OpenSSL extension in Ruby before 2.0.0 patchlevel 645, 2.1.x before     2.1.6, and 2.2.x before 2.2.2 does not properly validate hostnames, which allows remote attackers to spoof     servers via vectors related to (1) multiple wildcards, (1) wildcards in IDNA names, (3) case sensitivity,     and (4) non-ASCII characters. (CVE-2015-1855)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

CVE-2017-10784

Yusuke Endoh discovered an escape sequence injection vulnerability in the Basic authentication of WEBrick. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to inject malicious escape sequences to the WEBrick log and potentially execute control characters on the victim's terminal emulator when reading logs.

CVE-2017-14033

asac reported a buffer underrun vulnerability in the OpenSSL extension. A remote attacker could take advantage of this flaw to cause the Ruby interpreter to crash leading to a denial of service.

CVE-2017-14064

Heap memory disclosure in the JSON library.

CVE-2017-17405

A command injection vulnerability in Net::FTP might allow a malicious FTP server to execute arbitrary commands.

CVE-2017-17742

Aaron Patterson reported that WEBrick bundled with Ruby was vulnerable to an HTTP response splitting vulnerability. It was possible for an attacker to inject fake HTTP responses if a script accepted an external input and output it without modifications.

CVE-2017-17790

A command injection vulnerability in lib/resolv.rb's lazy_initialze might allow a command injection attack. However untrusted input to this function is rather unlikely.

CVE-2018-6914

ooooooo_q discovered a directory traversal vulnerability in the Dir.mktmpdir method in the tmpdir library. It made it possible for attackers to create arbitrary directories or files via a .. (dot dot) in the prefix argument.

CVE-2018-8777

Eric Wong reported an out-of-memory DoS vulnerability related to a large request in WEBrick bundled with Ruby.

CVE-2018-8778

aerodudrizzt found a buffer under-read vulnerability in the Ruby String#unpack method. If a big number was passed with the specifier @, the number was treated as a negative value, and an out-of-buffer read occurred. Attackers could read data on heaps if an script accepts an external input as the argument of String#unpack.

CVE-2018-8779

ooooooo_q reported that the UNIXServer.open and UNIXSocket.open methods of the socket library bundled with Ruby did not check for NUL bytes in the path argument. The lack of check made the methods vulnerable to unintentional socket creation and unintentional socket access.

CVE-2018-8780

ooooooo_q discovered an unintentional directory traversal in some methods in Dir, by the lack of checking for NUL bytes in their parameter.

CVE-2018-1000075

A negative size vulnerability in ruby gem package tar header that could cause an infinite loop.

CVE-2018-1000076

RubyGems package improperly verifies cryptographic signatures. A mis-signed gem could be installed if the tarball contains multiple gem signatures.

CVE-2018-1000077

An improper input validation vulnerability in RubyGems specification homepage attribute could allow malicious gem to set an invalid homepage URL.

CVE-2018-1000078

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in gem server display of homepage attribute.

CVE-2018-1000079

Path Traversal vulnerability during gem installation.
